Helicopters, Taupo, New Zealand

Scenic flight with views of Mount Tongariro

In 2001, and after more than 30 years in helicopters, aviation, boating, fishing and hunting, New Zealand helicopter legend Toby Clark and Chris Jolly formed Clark & Jolly Helicopters based at Taupo Airport, in the heart of the central North Island, New Zealand. Accessing Taupo is now made easier with a flight seeing transfer to and from major airports.

Lake Taupo is a spectacular location surrounded by volcanoes, native forest and alpine streams. A helicopter is the key to unlocking all the amazing activities within the area. Whether flight seeing, wilderness fishing, or hiking, Clark & Jolly Helicopters know Lake Taupo and the New Zealand wilderness better than anyone.
